Southern, Sir Richard William
▪ 2002

      British historian (b. Feb. 8, 1912, Newcastle upon Tyne, Eng.—d. Feb. 6, 2001, Oxford, Eng.), brought his love of medieval European history to an international audience with the publication of his first book, The Making of the Middle Ages (1953), which was later translated into more than two dozen languages. Southern, who spent his entire professional career (1933–81) at the University of Oxford, was knighted in 1974. His other books included Western Views of Islam in the Middle Ages (1962), Saint Anselm and His Biographer (1963), and Scholastic Humanism and the Unification of Europe (vol. 1, 1995; vol. 2, 2000).
